"It is pleasant to see that your cousin enjoys Oxford so much," said Sorell, as they neared the museum, and saw Pryce and Connie disappearing through the gate of the park. "Yes. She seems to like it," said Alice coldly. Sorell began to talk of his first acquaintance with the Risboroughs, and of Connie's mother. There was no hint in what he said of his own passionate affection for his dead friends.

Ella Risborough was then forty-two, seventeen years older than himself, and her only daughter was a child of sixteen.
She had been fifteen years in the Risboroughs' service, and remembered Connie when she was almost a baby. "Whatever were you so silly for? You know your mamma wouldn't have let you." "Well, I've not got my mamma," said Connie slowly. "And I'm not going to be managed by Aunt Ellen, Netta. I intend to run my own show." "Who is it?" said Annette, knitting busily. Connie laughed.
